CSA<.>, Czech Airlines<.> concluded the year 2001 with a profit of 7.834 million US dollars, according to International Accounting Standards. This amount of profit places Czech Airlines among the ranks of those few European airlines that did not show a loss in 2001 and who have been relatively successful in comparison to competitors on the international market.



Economic results audited by Ernst&Young confirm a relatively successful Czech Airlines economy in 2001, when the company showed a profit of 7.834 million US dollars. The economic result was directly influenced by the tragic events of September 11. CSA achieved black numbers thanks to intensive growth in the number of transported passengers, but also due to a low number of CSA flights to North America, as well as strict economic measures adopted by the company`s management, explains Dan Plovajko, CSA Director Public Relations.
